AZA Accreditation

AZA Accreditation refers to a designation given by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) to institutions that meet high standards in animal care, conservation, education, and research. Accreditation ensures that the zoo or aquarium provides a safe, healthy environment for animals, promotes wildlife conservation efforts, and offers quality educational experiences for the public. The process is rigorous, requiring facilities to undergo a thorough evaluation, demonstrating a commitment to best practices in animal husbandry and conservation programs. Achieving AZA Accreditation is a mark of excellence in the field of zoological and aquarium management.
